MUN project
Reuben Barnes
MUN Reflection
1. This project has changed not only my perspective of the UN but it has showed me how important matters are solved by them and what it takes for all the countries to decide which resolution is the best for what situation and why it is. Not only that but first they have to choose which problem to start working on, I think that would be the hardest because then you have to decide if you will help these people or the other people.
2. I improved on this conference because in the last conference I was late and I did not have a very good resolution or speech unlike this conference I had a really good speech because it had better examples than my last speech did, not only that but this current speech of mine was much longer than the last one and I was very proud of that. Also in the last conference I was not dressed up and that caused me to be late, so this latest conference I was much more prepared.
3. I think that if we were to have a third conference the thing that I would want to change most is my resolution because both of my resolutions were extremely short and everything was just sentences and there were no paragraphs, and this was not what I had wanted. Not only that but my resolution had no important quotes, for example no quotes from important people that were involved with this situation, this is something that I would plan to put in if we were to have another resolution but the opportunity has passed me by.
4. a. I would give myself an A for my overall performance because I did have a speech and I also started to give comments to other countries after they had spoken, all of these thing I belive have deserved me the grade that I have presented you.
b. I would give myself an –A because it was much better than my last one but I will not lie, I believe it could have been better than I made it. Because of this I think that the grade I have presented is the grade that I should receive.
c. I would give myself an A on caucuses because whenever we would have one I truly believe that I did a good job at trying to vote for the resolution that I wanted to pass, although my resolution that I wanted to pass it did not, even though I still think that the way I was convincing people was working but not as good as others obviously.
d. I would give myself an +C because I only gave two comments at the end, and I wouldn’t have if my teammates had not reminded me that I could not only give a speech and be done with it because that is too little, so the grade above is what I think suits me well.
